Trump says will raise US tariffs on EU cars, trucks to 25%

President Donald Trump announced on Friday that he will raise US tariffs on cars and trucks from the European Union to 25% next week, claiming that the bloc is not complying with a previous trade deal. The pact, struck last summer, had capped the US tariff on EU autos and parts at 15%. The announcement follows Trump's renewed criticism of German Chancellor Friedrich Merz.
